Enter the IP address of the Policy Server machine and the Policy Server communication port (default is 55806).
- The Policy Server communication port must be in the range 1024-65535.
- During installation, Policy Server may have been automatically configured to use a port other than the default. (This does not apply to appliance-based Policy Server instances.) To
verify the port:
- Navigate to the bin directory on the Policy Server machine (C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\bin or /opt/Websense/bin/, by default) and open the websense.ini file in a text editor.
- Locate the PolicyServerPort value.
- When you are finished, close the file without saving. Do not modify the file.
If your deployment includes Forcepoint appliances:
- Policy Server is installed on the full policy source appliance and any user directory and filtering appliances.
- If Policy Server is running on any appliance, enter the IP address of the appliance’s C interface.
Note that when Policy Server resides on an appliance, you must enable the on-appliance Directory Agent, rather than connecting an off-appliance (software-based) instance of the service to the on-appliance Policy Server.
If Policy Server is not currently installed anywhere in your network, you must install it before any of the components listed above.
- To install Policy Server on this machine, click Previous, then add Policy Server to the components selected for installation.
- To install Policy Server on another machine, run the Forcepoint Security Installer or Web Linux Installer on that machine first, before continuing to attempt installation on the current machine.
